I have to agree with a lot of those already listed.
One for me was Metal Gear Solid 5 Quiet’s Ending. She saved my bacon so many times that that I couldn’t help but tear up when she sacrificed herself to save me and then walked off into the desert, never to be seen again. Especially before the patch where that was an actual permadeath for her and you could never get her back if you played that mission. That was so sad.

Scotchy-Bot does not understand these things you call feelings beep boop
... Well alright that's not entirely true but quite a lot of these examples are making me wonder if I am a robot... 😅
I'm quite like @Arugula in that generally gaming hasn't come close.
Though I agree with @mookysam and Metal Gear Solid 3's final act got me a little misty eyed. The reveal regarding The Boss in particular... She's probably my favourite character in the series baring Solid Snake
Sniper Wolf's death from Metal Gear Solid was something that always got me a bit too.
Persona 3's final act and ending was quite touching and well done I thought.
... Uhhh... Can't think of anything else from the top of my memory circuits though
I couldn't help but laugh when Otacon told Snake that in the seconds before Sniper Wolf pulls the trigger she falls in love with all of her victims. Her death scene is quite emotional for such an old game, but then it is extremely cinematic in its overall presentation. The music and howling wolves add a lot to it.
@RogerRoger that exact same bit in MGS IV gets me choked up! It's so emotional! Hopefully will get around to replaying it this weekend after we finish portable ops
@ralphdibny Oh blimey, Portable Ops... now there's a blast from the past!
But yeah, that whole section from Guns of the Patriots is so powerful. There have been plenty of emotional moments from many a Metal Gear game (others have mentioned some great examples) but I don't think Mr. Kojima ever bettered the majesty and melodrama on display there.
It's totally contrived, though, especially since the Metal Gear Mk.III opens all the doors, and does all the interfacing, and isn't affected by the microwaves at all... but shh. We don't mention that bit.

Super Mario Bros because she is ALWAYS in another bloody castle
al joking aside many people have mentioned MGSIV and i completely agree so no point going over that again, all i'll say is that it was absolutely perfectly done and a fitting end for the MGS series (then Konami ruined it with MGSV and Survive)
then the was FFVII and Aeriths Death of course i was only 12 at the time but that hit me right in the feels and still does even now, especially when the music kicks in
"I pity you. You just don't get it at all...there's not a thing I don't cherish!"
"Now! This is it! Now is the time to choose! Die and be free of pain or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!
@FullbringIchigo I just hope they nail the music in the remake. Aerith’s Theme has a great booming quality to it in the original and I hope that isn’t replaced by a cleaner sound, it would really lose a lot of the feels.
I certainly agree that The Boss is a bloody fantastic character for gaming in general @mookysam! Ever since I mentioned her though I've been humming Snake Eater all day... Curse that song and it's immense ear worm tendancies! 😂
I'm also not surprised that in MGS1 caused a chuckle on your part
But yeah as you say it's a partucularly well done scene with the music. Wolf's voice actress is pretty solid too. At least it is in the PS1 version.
I just had a look at the scene in the Twin Snake version (As I've never played it) and it's nowhere near as effective at all!

Haha, to be fair I had the Snake Eater theme in my head for most of last year @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy. It's so catchy! And now it's in my head again just from typing this! 😂
Your Persona 3 mention reminded me of Shinjiro's death and I also found the stories surrounding Junpei's fleeting love interest, Kuromaro and Ken quite poignant. Thinking about it the main theme of the game is death, so there's quite a lot of sadness in it.
Death Stranding is the only game to make me cry. I won't say what part due to spoilers but the final 30 minutes were what kicked off the water works. If youve played it you know what I'm talking about.
I had a 'I've got something in my eye' moment when playing FFVII Remake earlier. And I've not even finished it yet, so can't imagine what it's gonna be like when I do.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I just replayed mgs 4 and have a few other moments that got me in the feels:
Raiden giving up on life, trying to end his treatment early so he can go and fight before snake convinces him otherwise.
Naomi ending her own life in front of Otacon on the mk.3, he does like a woman with shades of grey doesn't he!
And of course the final fight with liquid ocelot. Snake shouting liquid when liquid just won't leave him alone and also when snake realises that he sort of wants the same thing and they shoot eachother up with the Psych injections
